Patrick Mahomes and his Kansas City Chiefs taking on Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX is sure to have fans excited. The prospect of watching the biggest game of the season usually pushes many to spend millions. This time, Shad Khan want to witness what it is to win.
Super Bowl ticket prices usually head into the thousands of dollars. Prices have been rising every year as fans want to experience everything the greatest spectacle in sports can provide. However, the likes of Shad Khan are those that sit in luxury suites.
The Jacksonville Jaguars owner is worth $13.3 billion as per Forbes with his team alone contributing $4.6 of it. Therefore, he is not one who will struggle to pay up for a complete suite of his own. When it comes to transportation, Khan can use any of his private jets to reach New Orleans in under two hours.
But the trip from Florida to New Orleans means he can use another alternate mode of travel. The Gulf of Mexico connects both the locations which means anyone with a big enough boat can travel across the water.
Shad Khan has a massive boat, rather a 400-ft yacht that costs $360 million. Evidently, he took that yacht christened ‘Kismet’, which means ‘luck’, all the way to New Orleans. The yacht became the primary focus of fans travelling to the city.

It towers over river boats and has 3 pools, along with a spa, a sauna and a cryo chamber. It also has its own basketball and pickleball courts to keep the VIP guests entertained. The billionaire last used the yacht to travel to the UK when his Jaguars played in London.
Shad Khan pinning Jaguars Super Bowl hopes on new head coach Liam Coen
This visit to watch Super Bowl LIX is understandable as many NFL owners and those from other leagues arrive to join in the excitement. But Shad Khan will hope his Jacksonville Jaguars will soon be able to compete in one.
As a self-made billionaire, he would want his team to succeed. In the past, they have struggled to even be competitive. But now with Liam Coen at the helm, the 74-year-old businessman would want him to lead the team to success.
Liam Coen, however, used his leverage to gain a major contract with the Jaguars. The lead up to that appointment also cast a negative light over the franchise. But even then, it will be nothing compared to when he will be judged by his work with the team.
The Jaguars have a decent team with Trevor Lawrence as their quarterback. Once a new GM comes in, Coen can work with him to bring the necessary reinforcements. Then possibly they can push their way back to the playoffs.
